Homeowners Get a Break with Old Republic Home Protection

San Ramon, CA, May 01, 2008 --(PR.com)-- In October of 2007, Old Republic Home Protection captured headlines across the nation by introducing the most comprehensive home warranty coverage available in the industry at an unmatched price. This enhanced coverage made it possible for home sellers and buyers to “custom-fit” the Home Warranty Plan to their home’s specific needs, providing more coverage at a superior value.

To introduce the market to this unique coverage, and for a limited time, Old Republic Home Protection is offering homeowners in California this enhanced, comprehensive protection at a reduced price. While most costs of home ownership are on the rise, Old Republic Home Protection is lowering the cost of this invaluable protection for homeowners.

Gwen Gallagher, President of Old Republic Home protection, had this to say, “In today’s changing real estate market, home buyers expect more for their money, and when they can obtain enhanced coverage coupled with a cost reduction, it’s a double win. Our Home Warranty Plan reduces the likelihood of major out-of-pocket expense due to a home system or appliance outage, which creates even more budget protection for the homeowner. And the peace of mind that the extended coverage provides is priceless.”

These reduced-rate package options are now being offered to California homeowners who are in a resale transaction (buying or selling a home):

Ultimate Protection, which includes Standard Coverage plus the Silver & Gold Upgrades and Air Conditioning Coverage.

Platinum Plus, which includes the aforementioned Ultimate Protection plus the Platinum Upgrade.

By making this valuable home warranty protection more affordable than ever to homeowners, Old Republic Home Protection is truly putting their “We’re People Helping People” philosophy into action.
